Clarification for what SSD to replace my legion go internal storage with

QUESTION

Hey, I've read through quite a few posts now on what SSD's people are getting for their legion go, but i'm still unsure which one I should get myself. The console is primarily used for gaming, so i'm after a 2TB SSD that will allow for the most gaming (I assume correlating to high read/write speeds). After looking, I came across Corsair Force MP600 Micro 1TB M.2 2242 NVMe SSD (https://www.jw.com.au/product/corsair-force-mp600-micro-1tb-m-2-2242-nvme-ssd?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiArva5BhBiEiwA-oTnXR6ytVQzU5VERN-uwJ3KNNRcjd4xoGzeqMSOf9YvehcJXMLI-fL2dhoClxgQAvD_BwE) but unsure if this is the best option. Could anyone explain whether this is a good SSD to get, and if not, what other alternative one I should get? (Either 2242 or 2230 with adapter)

That's the one I went with. Getting here tomorrow or the next day. Corsair warranty process is really excellent in the case of failure. Supposedly 2242 has better heat distribution than the 2230.

Incidentally that is an amazing price for it, holy moly. If only they would ship to me.

I used a 2242 to 2280 adapter. It was a snug fit but it did fit.

Same here, used a couple thermal pads for mine and trim a peg and few bits on the back cover 4TB P3 3300GBs is fast enough for my steam needs

•

Is that MP44L without the original sticker?

I have the 2TB Western Digital WD SN740 with an adapter M-Key B and M (2230 to 2242) like this one on the image below, really good speeds, I've been using it for 6 months, no issues so far.

I used p3 plus, what you have to be careful with:

Heat - you can get a 10000mb/s ssd but it will probably consume a lot of Watts and reach temps that will bottleneck its speed

Thickness - if its too thick it will need you to either mod your backplate or buy a new one

To be safe just use a model that other people had used previously and gave good feedback here

I have a Corsair MP600 micro 2TB 2242, it works fine. I used to have a 2280 ssd with the sintech and angle adapter, and I kept having BSODs.

•

hey picky_man did you made a clean install or cloned, I cloned and getting BSODs.

Thanks

I have the mp600 1tb & it runs perfectly. I've had it since day one. I originally built the original SSD, updated everything, cloned it & immediately swapped over. It's worked flawlessly ever since.

I'm contemplating doing a again to the 2tb model but I have a Crucial 2tb X9 & it works brilliantly if slower but much faster than microSD so I'm trying to justify the buy to myself because I really don't need 5tb on my LGO but I would like the extra speed.... Decisions, decisions
